the song just wrings the tears straight out my eyes. it's not sadness or crying, it's just the sheer weight of the wall of sound and emotion being pressed upon me.
You described my explanation of Windhand perfectly! At my grandparents' house on Christmas night, freezing cold outside but the hearth is warm. Rural Appalachia, nothing but dark mystery outside, amid the immense pines.
My world was changed when I happened to a Sleep show that windhand opened for. High as fuck in the crowd just zoning out watching the fog machines roll and the band just groove on stage. Shit was epic as fuck. Bern diehard since that night.
Damn those practice space demos sound as good as the actual album. Back in my day, "rehearsal space demo" meant boombox in the middle of the room with a Radioshack microphone and sounded like shredded garbage.
surprised this album even got remastered, production was super tight on the original release as it was, def not complaining tho, bonus tracks are definitely a treat
Honestly can't even hear the difference but I'm not complaining about being able to order and finally have one of my favorite albums on pretty looking special edition vinyl lol ¯\(ツ)/¯
I'm an old mf and seeing Windhand is on my bucket list. So if you lady and gentlemen come to New Orleans and I don't know because the nursing home has me doped up, I'll be really disappointed. So I'm putting it on you guys. Let me know. Seriously. Love this band.
Oh sheeeit! You’ve never listened to this album before?! Fuck me, this album is straight up SOLID all the way through and their best, imo. I’m saying, the others are great and all but this one, this one brought Hell with it. The first time I heard it, I listened to it nonstop for days. Still do. Matter fact, I’m on my first play through now lol
@@smasher.338 while you’re not wrong at all, I’d take this over that one every time, simply bc I don’t skip tracks on this one but I do on ER. HOWEVER……Kingfisher, amirite?!🥹
Best band I have heard since 97. And yes I know there is good music out there. This just hits me right. I've been looking for a sound like this. Grunge Doom
Love you guys! Unfortunately missed the opportunity to see you live in elsewhere in 2018. But Was able to see you some months after in Berlin, loved every second!
Idk but I’m envious that you’re experiencing this for the first time, as I wish I could go back to that inaugural spin, smoke and sit just amazed and zoned.
Had to post again. This is Soooooo good! Heap wolves was the only track I thought was just only ok before, the new mix makes that track and Winter Sun just as beastly as the others. Amaranth is a nice add. You roll em out, I buyz em!!!! Dear windhand, go back to a 5 piece.....the tones just melt faces.
This is a great album too very heavy and smooth I love the bone chilling riffs and how long the notes are Its like a bowl of ramen like really spooky ramen.
haha....I understand what yer sayin`. I personally usually prefer those "Digipack" CD`s cuz the don`t have easy to break cases like regular CD`s but in the case of this band, I seee how runnin` that ole needle through would sound exceptionally badass, specially since the needle on my record player is in tip-top shape!
....yeah, but its very minor and its overshadows by the SERIOUS DOOM metal sound which is what this band. There`s some grunge bands I like since I lived through the 80ties & 90ties the 2 main bands that from the days of 90ties grunge was L7 and friends grunge/riotgrll band callled Squat and I do like several Veruca Salt but I also think there were a lot of sucky ass bands to come out from Grunge that just mainly safe college rock (as opposed to RAWK).....like I always thought Soundgarden and Pearl Jam sucked.
@@DoubtingThomas333 TAD TAD IS GRUNGE. ALL of the others were just following along. (And most all of them will tell you that too, quite freely!) Get the first two TAD albums…..”Salt Lick” and “Gods Balls”. That is what grunge was always meant to be!
For some reason I am noticing this remaster much more than other remastered albums. I am second guessing my decisions to dismiss the presale for a physical copy because I already have it. Surely I shouldn't buy the same album twice? 🤔
if i could go back to hearing winter sun for the first time in 2011......
the song just wrings the tears straight out my eyes. it's not sadness or crying, it's just the sheer weight of the wall of sound and emotion being pressed upon me.
Just an incredible album. Like being all alone in a cabin in the woods in the dead of winter. More hours of darkness than daylight.
perfect vibes for my isolated arctic town. very dark and so cold
You described my explanation of Windhand perfectly! At my grandparents' house on Christmas night, freezing cold outside but the hearth is warm. Rural Appalachia, nothing but dark mystery outside, amid the immense pines.
Cant wait to play Windhand at my remote hill cabin in woods when my health gets better
The guitar solo on Winter Sun is probably one of my all-time favourites. Absolute legend.
idk libusen is fucking great too
Yes indeed but the one that gets me amped is the Libusen solo. POWERFUL.
When you push the play button on an Windhand album,you do it cause you already know that you ll listen to good music.
Agree completely
Lol, braindead observation my stoner
I mean, that's typically how it works whenever one listens to any music that they like, but I agree with your sentiment.
I never push play on albums that I like. I just put them in and that's it.
Amen to that..😊
Just now finding this album and I swear I've replayed heap wolves like 8 times
You like this then listen to "Monolord - Larvae"

Sleep AND Windhand? You are a lucky bastard! I saw Windhand live 9/22 in a small venue. My favorite show ever, hands down
@@gurugoat8298 yeah it was insane. Amazing night.
Jealous.
Thank you Relapse! This is the deluxe edition we didn't even know we needed but can't live without! Hail Windhand!

I had everything from radio shack
Amp, turntable, headphones
Even roachclips.
They had everything 👀
YOU THINK THEY MIGHT HAVE A BLACK SABBATH INFLUENCE?
Still have my RadioShack STA 2000 audio receiver...😊

My fav all time band....and I'm old (52). They are so much better sounding live than in any live you tube video, I promise
Maaaaan…..y’all mfkrs ain’t old, y’all’s seasoned. Yeah Windhand fucking kills it.
This first album was so good. I glad they re-released it in 2023.
Nice to see Jack Endino still contributing to awesome music in the world.
How did i not hear about this album sooner?!? This just made my night!

Such an atmospheric heavyness. I was so hooked on Practice space, I instantly knew that the album was gonna be great as was the demo.
man oh man this is terrific...only gave their second record a spin, which I liked, but this remaster is awesome.
Windhand + Soma are epic albums. Can't wait to get the Vinyl. :)
Soma is hella underrated and under appreciated imo.
Best band I have heard since 97.
And yes I know there is good music out there. This just hits me right. I've been looking for a sound like this. Grunge Doom
These guys never fuck up
gues i have to take out the first lp an listen ,..was epic seem em live an smooking weed with them awsome show.
LIBUSEN is crushingly heavy and at the same time takes you to incredible heights.
Fuzztastic!
\M/
These songs blow me away every damn time.....amazing......
incredibly deep and true music
Windhand is so cozy.
Aside from the singer`s awesome voice, that drummer is AMA--ZING!!👌👌 I can tell he`s using like those huge cymbals that pretty expensive.
😅
This mix is killer. Thanks Jack!
Love you guys! Unfortunately missed the opportunity to see you live in elsewhere in 2018. But Was able to see you some months after in Berlin, loved every second!

smoke weed and listen to windhand, goddamn 💥
Windhand is the only band i would listen in vinyl today.
I was feeling a need for a vinyl copy as soon as this came on

would?
Great album, great band
A magic album 🤘💀🤘
We need new Windhand please
JT was here 💜
Fuck this is epic. I wish I could have ordered the "Galaxy" vinyl but had to be content with the "Violet" version. Bastards, all of you. =) 🤘👍
legendary.
Masterpiece.
Amaranth was a nice touch.....I think the CD has the lyrics as well, which is new.....hail Windhand. "C'mon Satan surround me ....."
check album "Reflection of the negative"
Wow, didnt expect that! Thank you!
Amazing. Bravo
Beauty!
heavy man...just heavy
uncle acid and the deadbeats - bloodlust followed by this album, electric wizard dopethrone up next, youtube doing me so good today.
genre breaking band for me.... one of my best bands of all time to me.
Awesome, as always
Excelente concepto oscuro 👍
yeahhhh! let's doom dance
So high
Windhand gives me huge Type O Negative vibes sans Peter Steele's haunting vocals. I'm digging the sound.
Windhand=Dope!
This made my night! Also, quick question:
When is Cough going to release some new shit? I need it!😬
Excellent
Heap wolves KICKS ASS!!!!!!!!!!!
Holy Smoke
I'm hearing grunge influences in this album, which is cool AF.

Reminds of an ironic Upside Cross (Mass band)
just listen.!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
reminds me of Haunted
Is this the new Black Sabbath
In a way, yes. Definitely reminiscent of the first 3 albums
didnt need remastering in my opinion. but any Windhand is cool
This is ACTUALLY new material? I never know anymore.
No
it’s a remaster of a 2012 record
15:05 🤔 Is this kinda heavy doom metal for playing D O O M?👹👿
🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘👺👺👺DAAAAAAAAM🤬🤬🤬
Windhand puts it out.....I trade monies instantly!!!!! My soul needs moar!!!!!
Saw them in richmond like 10 years ago.. before anybody knew them...
I saw them before you knew them
@@thathandleistakentrythisone possibly . But it was awhile back..
Troubles new incarnation a bit of reincarnation if ya ask me but what do aye know?
new music genre: heavy reverb
hello, what's this? sounds good
re-release?
😵
🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱
how about some new songs instead, windhand, it's been years and years
black candles... lol, more like...black sabbath
Click on first song, click on second song, click on third song. Wait, is this all the same song?
Rattling garbage truck🚛🚂
Basically an Electric Wizard's Dopethrone ripoff
But sounds 50 times better,EW don't pull guitar tones this good, also the guitarist Garrett Morris engineered EW's last album
Hardly. I've heard Dopethrone a ton, and this is FAR better
Do you even have ears
